I found that without the proxy I was frequently getting pauses while "Looking up ...", regardless of DNS server settings. Using the proxy fixed it. Browsing is now much more SNAPPY. I may not have everything set up just right on linux yet, so take this with a grain of what ever.

The proxy in the browser does not have to be set up. Many users don't bother.
